How the KASRA works

After the Mission controllers have carefully planned what the next mission will entail and what the mission objectives will be, they communicate their plans with the logistics managers. The Logistics team then notify the rocket engineers of the requirements for the rocket.  The Rocket engineers then build the rocket with the necessary science equipment and for the lowest possible cost. Next, the logistics team decide which astronauts, trajectory planners and flight directors will partake in the missions. The trajectory planners then draw up the flight plan for the mission, attempting to achieve the mission objectives using the least possible fuel. Finally it is the launch and the flight directors, using the flight plan from the trajectory planners, launch the space craft and astronauts to science objective.  During the flight, the astronauts advise flight directors constantly and carry out required experiments while on route to and at the mission objectives.  The astronauts are relied upon to explore new planets and moons and compile scientific reports while in flight and on alien surfaces. During the final stages of the mission, the flight directors will fly the astronauts and their newly gained knowledge and scientific value home. During the mission, a flight recording will have been taken by the astronauts and this recording is handed over to the media representative. They then edit and commentate on this recording, and upload it on social media, linking the KASA with the public.
